Although Lao Er Dog felt that calling a toad was no different from calling a dog, when he saw the crowd laughing, he felt that a toad was definitely not good. Hence, he angrily shouted, "You are the toad, your entire family is called a toad!"

Lai Ergou's scolding caused another round of laughter from the crowd. Wenn Wanru could not help but furrow her brows when she saw this. She thought to herself that other people's mothers had just died. She did not have the money to hide, so she did not know how sad it was. Yet, all of you are here messing around and making noise. Wouldn't this make others feel even more sad? She suddenly felt unhappy. Just as she was about to say something to stop the crowd, she suddenly heard someone shout from outside the crowd, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Official Zhu is here! All of you, get out of the way!"

At first, the crowd did not respond to the person's roar. However, when they heard that Official Zhu had come, they couldn't help but be shocked. Those who were closer to the man with the roar quickly ran away, and some even ran away. The scene instantly became chaotic. In just a moment, not a single person was left behind. It suddenly became quiet, and even those who belonged to Du Qi quietly left. Those who were still at the scene had unnatural expressions on their faces.

As soon as the crowd left, more than a dozen people who looked like bodyguards from the hospital rushed over with a brawny man who seemed to be in his mid-thirties, dressed in embroidered clothes.

Du Qi originally did not care about this group of people, but when his gaze swept past one of them, he couldn't help but slightly freeze, and then he turned to look at the girl kneeling there and the white cloth. After which, he softly laughed and said, "This time around, there will really be a lively scene to watch."

Wenn Wanru, Yuwen Qianmo and Bo Jiuyang could not help but be startled when they heard this. However, they tactfully did not say anything. Instead, their eyes shot in all directions as they waited and watched the development of the situation.

The gazes that swept over the scene finally landed on the cardboard that the girl had hung on her chest. The brawny man used his thick right palm to stroke the thick beard on his chin and grinned. With a commanding tone, he said, "Little girl, raise your head and let me take a look!" Obviously, the brawny man was the Official Zhu from before.

When he heard Official Zhu's arrival, it was unknown whether it was because he was afraid or excited. The girl's body trembled even more violently. When she heard Official Zhu's words, the girl immediately raised her head and looked boldly at Official Zhu and the others. Her eyes focused, but in an instant... The girl lowered her head again.

Official Zhu couldn't help but smile in satisfaction when he saw the girl's appearance. Kaho said, "Little girl, why didn't you look for me when you encountered such a difficult situation? You have to know that I have always been kind and kind. My favorite thing to do is to help the crisis and help the destitute. Now that I am here, little girl doesn't need to suffer here anymore. Hurry up and get up, if the girl is willing, she can go to my house to stay for a period of time. In the coming year, quickly give a hundred taels of silver to this girl and let her properly hide her mother. "

A thin man in his fifties behind Official Zhu hurriedly took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to the young lady. He said proudly, "This is the money Official Zhu gave you to sell yourself. Quickly take it to handle the old man's funeral. Then follow us back! "

The banknote was handed to her, but the girl did not receive it. Instead, she slightly moved back and said softly, "Mother did not enjoy any good fortune when she was alive. I don't want her to suffer even after she died. So, so, I want to bury Mother in glory. Let... Mother... Make mother happy instead. "

When Xiangnian heard this, his face couldn't help but show anger, and he scolded in a low voice, "Don't be ungrateful. It's already good enough to have this hundred taels of silver, why don't you take it?"

When he heard the girl's words, Official Zhu was also a little unhappy. But he pretended to be generous and said, "This lady's filial piety is commendable. Xiangnian must not be rude! May I ask Miss... According to your request, how much silver is needed to be enough?"

The girl said without hesitation, "At least a thousand silver taels!"

Seeing the girl demanding an exorbitant price, Chao Nian could not help but burst out in anger. Just as he was about to speak, Official Zhu smiled and said, "If we really want to have a grand funeral, a thousand taels of silver is indeed not much. Perhaps it is not enough. How about this, young lady, I can give you a thousand taels of silver for your expenses. Also, give the old lady the best coffin. However... Miss must immediately follow me back to the Zhu family to hold a funeral for the old madam."

Hearing Official Zhu's words, the girl immediately revealed a grateful expression. However, she hesitated a little and said, "The good intentions of the officials are what I wish for, but this is not very auspicious. Can you let me handle the funeral for my mother somewhere else, and then come back to work for an official? If the official is worried, you can send someone to follow me. "

Official Zhu pondered and said," Where do you want to hold the funeral for the madame? "

The girl said, "I heard that Li Village on the other side of the Fenhe River has a good family."

Official Zhu had also heard of Li Village's foster home. The person who held the funeral and stored the coffin there was not a noble person. Even if it was a famous person, ordinary people did not have the ability and qualification to hold a funeral there. Judging from the girl's current situation, she obviously belonged to the latter, but if he were to step in, that was another matter. Hence, Official Zhu said in an extremely forthright manner, "Alright, as the lady says, Xiangnian will give this lady a thousand taels of silver. Go and buy the best coffin in Taiyuan City and send it over. We will immediately head to Li Village's Yi Zhuang! "

Seeing that the young lady had already received the one thousand taels of silver, Official Zhu could not help but be delighted. He said excitedly, "Young lady, you should have taken off that plate and gotten up now, right?"

The girl answered softly and hid the silver notes on her body. She took off the piece of paper and placed it down on the ground, then gracefully got up. Perhaps it was because her legs had become numb after kneeling for so long, but the girl had yet to stand up. Her legs became weak and she stumbled towards Du Qi.

Not only did Du Qi not reach out to help the girl up, he even slightly retreated. In case the girl bumped into him, Yuwen Qianmo was about to reach out to help her up when... The girl had already stabilized herself. With a voice that only they could hear, she urgently said, "Save us!"

After saying that, the girl turned around and walked towards Official Zhu, leaving Wenn Wanru, Yuwen Qianmo, Bo Jiuyang and the others who were stunned. Du Qi sent a voice transmission to the girl, "You know you can't do it, but why do you still do it?"

Hearing Du Qi's voice transmission, the girl's body could not help trembling slightly, but she still walked towards Official Zhu without stopping. She slightly blessed and said, "Thank you, Official!"

Official Zhu smiled in satisfaction and said, "Good, good. From now on, you are my person. No need to be so polite, hahaha!" As he spoke, Official Zhu very naturally reached out his hand to hug the girl's shoulder.

The girl's feet moved slightly to the side and avoided Official Zhu's embrace. She softly said, "It is inconvenient for this little girl to have filial piety. I hope that Official will not be anxious. There will be plenty of time in the future."
